MANTECA - The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office on Thursday arrested Brandon Gann, 31, and David Splan, 42, both members of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang, in connection with the 2011 murder of 26-year-old Danny Martinez, authorities said.

Martinez was shot and killed in the 17000 block of Ideal Parkway in an unincorporated area of Manteca on Aug. 15, 2011. A second shooting victim underwent surgery and survived his injuries.

Gann and Splan were arrested without incident and are being held without bail at the San Joaquin County Jail, authorities said. No other details were released.

ESCALON - The San Joaquin County Coroner's Office on Thursday identified a woman found dead on the banks of the Stanislaus River early Tuesday as Lynette Garza, 23, of Modesto.

California Highway Patrol officers found Garza's body after responding to a report of a vehicle accident about 3:40 a.m. Tuesday in the 25800 block of East River Road in Escalon. They found an abandoned car on the roadway and Garza's body, which showed signs of "severe trauma," on an embankment about 60 feet away.

The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office is investigating and has ruled Garza's death a homicide.

STOCKTON - The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office on Thursday arrested Anton Bullock, 23, in connection with a robbery that occurred in November at DeVons Fine Jewelers in Lincoln Center, authorities said.

Bullock was arrested in Richmond, deputies said. Authorities are still seeking a second man wanted in connection with the jewelry heist, officials said. Authorities allege Bullock and another masked man entered the store on Pacific Avenue and Douglas Road just after 12:30 p.m. Nov. 26, used an ax to break display cases and stole jewelry before fleeing in a black Cadillac. Officials said evidence left at the scene tied Bullock to the robbery.

STOCKTON - A Latino man in his late 40s died after being struck by a car about 7:20 p.m. Thursday in the 1700 block of East Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard, police said.

The driver of the vehicle remained at the scene to talk to investigators and had not been arrested late Thursday night, officers said. Shortly before the man was struck, police received reports of a man of similar age walking in and out of traffic near the same location, authorities said.
